title: Multiple ureteral diverticula.
abstract: Only 30 cases of multiple ureteral diverticula have been reported previously. We present a new case of this benign condition and review concepts concerning its etiology. Usually discovered on retrograde pyelography, multiple ureteral diverticula are only inconsistently associated with a history of obstruction or infection. When present, however, these factors may play a role in precipitating mucosal herniation through preexisting weak areas in the ureteral wall.
